Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release

Description:
        `read -a' is inserting a spurious ASCII 1 whenever it encounters a
        backslash-escaped character. To be precise, it appears the backslash is
        simply replaced by this character. For instance, the string "foo\ bar"
        comes out as the sequence 66 6f 6f 01 20 62 61 72, instead of
        66 6f 6f 20 62 61 72.

Repeat-By:
        $ read -a ary
        foo\ bar\\baz\"quux
        $ echo -n ${ary[0]} | hexdump -C
